<p>Hi Alexandra,</p>
<p>I'm currently researching the simulation of social networks with slime mould for my undergraduate dissertation, and would love to discuss your Telegram data with you. It would be ideal to conduct a longitudinal study, where real-time changes in the social network could be paralleled with changes to temperature/pH/food source distancing in the lab with slime mould. Would you be interested in collaborating?</p>

<p>Thank you Ian! I am safe as much as anyone can be safe here right now. The slime mold-type momentum is building, which is fascinating! It grows and expands, and the opponents' structure is not like slime mold - it's rigid and centralised, and is shrinking at the moment (parts of it decide to join slime mold or just do nothing).

<p>SITUATION UPDATE - Belarusian slime mold</p>
<p>I am very proud of Belarusians. After three days of horror (with virtually no Internet), they managed to figure out the most optimal way to stop this nightmare (read Amnesty statement below). People were using all kinds of communication to spontaneously come up with different ideas of how to organise protests in a way that is the least threatening, eliminate provocateurs and even get some results.

<p>SITUATION UPDATE - Belarusian slime mold</p>
<p>I am very proud of Belarusians. After three days of horror (with virtually no Internet), they managed to figure out the most optimal way to stop this nightmare (read Amnesty statement below). People were using all kinds of communication to spontaneously come up with different ideas of how to organise protests in a way that is the least threatening, eliminate provocateurs and even get some results. The results are amazing - huge peaceful rallies all around the country, strikes, acts of solidarity from doctors, actors, artists, musicians, builders, workers, grannies, really everyone. But. This is still not enough. Yet</p>
<p></p>
<p>Our "slime mold" also grew significantly - telegram chats doubled and trippled (within a couple of days when the Internet was off), people learned from each other how to use Telegram and VPN, everything just for one goal - to have access to true information, exchange information in order to get rid of the current regime and initiate changes. Now the situation is like this: the government is kind of retreating (which is very unusual for the Belarusian authorities, with the currently "self-re-elected" president in power for 26 years), rats started running from the sinking ship (including a whole new banch of state media journalists and propagandists, as well as some core supporters of the president (who is still in power). I can only add that the main mistake the authorities made is to presume that everything has to have some kind of "control centre". All their strategy was aimed at finding and eliminating that non-existing "centre", and disinform people, lie to them, which, of course, had the opposite effect from what they wanted.</p>
